[Insert a Nice Title Here]

I have never been the type to remember things well, but there is this one moment that will always cling to me for the rest of my life. It was when my family accidentally left me at church alone while they went out to eat at a restaurant. This happened when I was around 11 to 12 years old. It was a Sunday afternoon that day. We were at church. Nothing special or out of the ordinary was happening. Everything was just normal. The church service just ended and everyone rose from their seats to talk with each other. It was the usual social gathering time for everyone. During this time, my parents would speak to almost every person present in the building, while my siblings would talk to their friends. I never really had a person to talk to, so I always stuck close to my family. At first, I was with my parents. They were with a family friend. I hear them talking about their lives and something about eating together for lunch. Losing interest, I decided to go to my sisters. They were laug...

Hello, my name is Enid. This blog will mostly be about media and some pretty interesting facts about it. It would also contain some of my experiences with media itself. I know. It's not very unique, but I hope you'll end up learning something new from here. Enjoy the low-quality content. :D

Alternative and independent media are some of the types of media that currently exists. Both don’t operate within the mainstream media system and are more free and liberal about their creations. People often are confused between the difference of the two, so I’ll be here to clarify how the alternative and independent media are different from each other. Alternative Media: Alternative means “having another choice aside from the one you already have or know.  When you combine alternative and media together, it becomes the type of media that is different from the established forms of mainstream media. It simply means “the other choice for the existing mainstream media.” Most alternative media feature content that mainstream media doesn’t usually have. In alternative media, the content creators don’t have the pressure of making money. Instead, they are only pressured to make a creative output which could also be seen or heard by many. Alternative media prioritizes ...

After listing my favorites in the chart above, I’ve realized that most of them are from mainstream media. I was never really familiar with independent media products, so I usually only watch or use the type of media that everyone knows. A majority of my favorite films, tv shows, social medias, and books, were all introduced to me by my friends and family. These soon became my favorites because I enjoyed the content that it had. Most of the social media above that I use are easy to access as well and a lot of the people I relate to hang out there. Mainstream media usually chooses the safest option when it comes to releasing their works, so I think I’m missing a lot because I keep on surrounding myself with mainstream media. Independent media, however, has more freedom in the products that they could release. Now that I think about it, I think both types of media have disadvantages that the other has as an advantage. Independent media doesn't receive too much attention w...

My dad has always been notorious for his love of buying new and innovative gadgets. Every day, I can see him looking at videos about new phone models and the latest gadgets released by Samsung, Xiao Mi, and other flagship-releasing companies. It’s no surprise then that when you visit our house, you will see a wide variety of devices hanging around. Most of it was owned by him. Although we own a lot of gadgets, I mostly use our family computer and phone to access the internet and media. Because of my studies, it’s really unavoidable for me to use them every day. I use it a lot for my studies, such as researches and for browsing ideas for my projects. On my free time, I would often use my phone or the computer as a way to entertain myself. I would play games, watch tv shows, or read a comic or book online. I never really had a lot of restrictions when it comes to using these gadgets, so I always found myself using too much of it. I would use it for the whole day, nonstop. It...
